People give me energy 

I need to be out and about

A solitary life is not for me 

I would wither, I would not be fine 

My smile is usually returned with a smile 

I was not happy when we were wearing masks

How were people supposed to see my smile?

How could I communicate with them without words?

Being with people is like walking in the sun

Everything is brighter

It’s easier to smile 

I guess I’m a people person 

And I always will be 

It must be hard to believe 

I was shy as a teen
